why smart rounding works differently with map/lapply than without? - r

I would like to smartly round my results so that it sums up to the same sum after rounding.
Can someone explain me why this is different when I do it with map or lapply?
v <- c(
0.9472164,
71.5330771,
27.5197066)
smart.round <- function(x, digits = 0) {
up <- 10 ^ digits
x <- x * up
y <- floor(x)
indices <- tail(order(x-y), round(sum(x)) - sum(y))
y[indices] <- y[indices] + 1
y / up
}
### works correctly
smart.round(v)
### lapply and map is wrong
lapply(v,smart.round)
map(v,smart.round)

( I think this is merely a comment, but I have not yet earned my right add comments )
lapply, purrr::map are processing your input sequentially. In your example, lapply takes the first value of v and calls smart.round then moves on to the second value of v and so on ...
in total smart.round is called three times, each time without any knowledge of the other two values in v.
I'm not entirely sure why you try to use lapply here, if this is part of a more complex situation you might want to expand your question.

I have written my own solution. Definitely a bit cumbersome but it works.. :) My initial goal was just to input a dataframe and output the rounded dataframe.
The whole example here:
v <- data.frame(a = c(0.9472164,
71.5330771,
27.5197066),
b = c(4.6472164,
5.6330771,
27.1197066))
smart.round <- function(x, digits = 0) {
up <- 10 ^ digits
x <- x * up
y <- floor(x)
indices <- tail(order(x-y), round(sum(x)) - sum(y))
y[indices] <- y[indices] + 1
y / up
}
rounding_function <- function(input_df) {
output_df <- data.frame(matrix(ncol = ncol(input_df), nrow = nrow(input_df)))
for (i in 1:nrow(input_df)) {
a = smart.round(as.numeric(input_df[i,]))
for (k in 1:ncol(input_df)) {
output_df[i,k]=a[k]
}
colnames(output_df) = colnames(input_df)
}
return(output_df)
}
v_rounded <- rounding_function(v)

Is it possible to use vector math in R for a summation involving intervals?

Title's a little rough, open to suggestions to improve.
I'm trying to calculate time-average covariances for a 500 length vector.
This is the equation we're using
The result I'm hoping for is a vector with an entry for k from 0 to 500 (0 would just be the variance of the whole set).
I've started with something like this, but I know I'll need to reference the gap (i) in the first mean comparison as well:
x <- rnorm(500)
xMean <-mean(x)
i <- seq(1, 500)
dfGam <- data.frame(i)
dfGam$gamma <- (1/(500-dfGam$i))*(sum((x-xMean)*(x[-dfGam$i]-xMean)))
Is it possible to do this using vector math or will I need to use some sort of for loop?
Here's the for loop that I've come up with for the solution:
gamma_func <- function(input_vec) {
output_vec <- c()
input_mean <- mean(input_vec)
iter <- seq(1, length(input_vec)-1)
for(val in iter){
iter2 <- seq((val+1), length(input_vec))
gamma_sum <- 0
for(val2 in iter2){
gamma_sum <- gamma_sum + (input_vec[val2]-input_mean)*(input_vec[val2-val]-input_mean)
}
output_vec[val] <- (1/length(iter2))*gamma_sum
}
return(output_vec)
}
Thanks
Using data.table, mostly for the shift function to make x_{t - k}, you can do this:
library(data.table)
gammabar <- function(k, x){
xbar <- mean(x)
n <- length(x)
df <- data.table(xt = x, xtk = shift(x, k))[!is.na(xtk)]
df[, sum((xt - xbar)*(xtk - xbar))/n]
}
gammabar(k = 10, x)
# [1] -0.1553118
The filter [!is.na(xtk)] starts the sum at t = k + 1, because xtk will be NA for the first k indices due to being shifted by k.

Prime numbers from random samples in R

I wrote the following code trying to find all the prime numbers from a random generated data set. sadly it seems something went wrong, could anybody help me.
set.seed(20171106)
n <- 10000
num <- sample(1:100000,n,replace=TRUE)
findPrime <- function(x){
apple<-c()
n<-length(x)
for(i in n){
if(any(x[i]%%(1:(x[i]-1))!=0)) apple <-c(apple,x[i])
}
return(apple)
}
To get results:
type:findPrime(num)
This is the warning message:
Warning message:
In if (x[i]%%(1:(x[i] - 1)) == 0) apple <- c(apple, x[i]) :
the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
so how can I fix the problem?
if statements only accept single elements and in your declaration seems to get the whole vector. I have rewritten your function using a ifelse expression wrapped inside a sapply loop.
I hope this works for you.
findPrime <- function(x = 0){
primes <- c()
# Prime finder
primes <- sapply(X = x,FUN = function(x) {
ifelse(any(x %% (1:(x - 1)) != 0), T, F)}
)
# Select primes
primes <- num[primes]
return(primes)
}
findPrime(num)
I have checked another silly mistake... Inside the function change num for x in the select primes step and invert the F, T outcomes. It should look like this:
findPrime <- function(x = 0){
primes <- c()
# Prime finder
primes <- sapply(X = x,FUN = function(x) {
ifelse(any(x %% (2:(x - 1)) == 0), F, T)}
)
# Select primes
primes <- x[primes]
return(primes)
}
I have just tried it and it works fine.
use package "gmp" which has a function "isprime" which returns 0 for non prime numbers and 2 for prime numbers and then subset the data based on the same
say you have a vector a = c(1:10)
a = c(1:10)
b = gmp::isprime(a)
c = cbind(a,b)
c = as.data.frame(c)
c = c[c$b==2,]
a1 = c$a
a1
In your code: for(i in 1:n), there is the error

Arguments of a function where another function will be called

Consider a hypothetical example:
sim <- function(n,p){
x <- rbinom(n,1,p)
y <- (x==0) * rnorm(n)
z <- (x==1) * rnorm(n,5,2)
dat <- data.frame(x, y, z)
return(dat)
}
Now I want to write another function simfun where I will call the above sim function and check if y and z columns of the data frame is less than a value k.
simfun <- function(n, p, k){
dat <- sim(n, p)
dat$threshold <- (dat$y<=k & dat$z<=k)
return(dat$threshold)
}
But is it standard to use the argument of sim as the argument of simfun? Can I write simfun <- function(k) and call the sim function inside simfun?
I'd say it's fairly standard to do this sort of thing in R. A few pointers to consider:
Usually you should explicitly declare the argument names so as not to create any unwanted behaviour if changes are made. I.e., instead of sim(n, p), write sim(n = n, p = p).
To get simfun() down to just a k argument will require default values for n and p. There are lots of ways to do this. One way would be to hardcode inside simfun itself. E.g.:
simfun <- function(k) {
dat <- sim(n = 100, p = c(.4, .6))
dat$threshold <- (dat$y<=k & dat$z<=k)
return(dat$threshold)
}
simfun(.5)
A more flexible way would be to add default values in the function declaration. When you do this, it's good practice to put variables with default values AFTER variables without default values. So k would come first as follow:
simfun <- function(k, n = 100, p = c(.4, .6)){
dat <- sim(n, p)
dat$threshold <- (dat$y<=k & dat$z<=k)
return(dat$threshold)
}
simfun(.5)
The second option is generally preferable because you can still change n or p if you need to.
While not great, you could define n and p separately
n <- 1
p <- .5
simfun <- function(k){
dat <- sim(n, p)
dat$threshold <- (dat$y<=k & dat$z<=k)
return(dat$threshold)
}

re-expressing a simple operation as a function in R

I am trying to construct a new variable, z, using two pre-existing variables - x and y.  Suppose for simplicity that there are only 5 observations (corresponding to 5 time periods) and that x=c(5,7,9,10,14) and y=c(0,2,1,2,3). I’m really only using the first observation in x as the initial value, and then constructing the new variable z using depreciated values of x[1] (depreciation rate of 0.05 per annum) and each of the observations over time in the vector, y. The variable I am constructing takes the form of a new 5 by 1 vector, z, and it can be obtained using the following simple commands in R:
z=NULL
for(i in 1:length(x)){n=seq(1,i,by=1)
z[i]=sum(c(0.95^(i-1)*x[1],0.95^(i-n)*y[n]))}
The problem I am having is that I need to define this operation as a function. That is, I need to create a function f that will spit out the vector z whenever any arbitrary vectors x and y are plugged into the function, f(x,y). I’ve been going around in circles for days now and I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to provide me with a suggestion about how to proceed. Thanks in advance.
I hope following will work for you...
x=c(5,7,9,10,14)
y=c(0,2,1,2,3)
getZ = function(x,y){
z = NULL
for(i in 1:length(x)){
n=seq(1,i,by=1)
z[i]=sum(c(0.95^(i-1)*x[1],0.95^(i-n)*y[n]))
}
return = z
}
z = getZ(x,y)
z
5.000000 6.750000 7.412500 9.041875 11.589781
This will allow .05 (or any other value) passed in as r.
ConstructZ <- function(x, y, r){
n <- length(y)
d <- 1 - r
Z <- vector(length = n)
for(i in seq_along(x)){
n = seq_len(i)
Z[i] = sum(c(d^(i-1)*x[1],d^(i-n)*y[n]))
}
return(Z)
}
Here is a cool (if I say so myself) way to implement this as an infix operator (since you called it an operation).
ff = function (x, y, i) {
n = seq.int(i)
sum(c(0.95 ^ (i - 1) * x[[1]],
0.95 ^ (i - n) * y[n]))
}
`%dep%` = function (x, y) sapply(seq_along(x), ff, x=x, y=y)
x %dep% y
[1] 5.000000 6.750000 7.412500 9.041875 11.589781
Doing the loop multiple times and recalculating the exponents every time may be inefficient. Here's another way to implement your calculation
getval <- function(x,y,lambda=.95) {
n <- length(y)
pp <- lambda^(1:n-1)
yy <- sapply(1:n, function(i) {
sum(y * c(pp[i:1], rep.int(0, n-i)))
})
pp*x[1] + yy
}
Testing with #vrajs5's sample data
x=c(5,7,9,10,14)
y=c(0,2,1,2,3)
getval(x,y)
# [1] 5.000000 6.750000 7.412500 9.041875 11.589781
but appears to be about 10x faster when testing on larger data such as
set.seed(15)
x <- rpois(200,20)
y <- rpois(200,20)
I'm not sure of how often you will run this or on what size of data so perhaps efficiency isn't a concern for you. I guess readability is often more important long-term for maintenance.

Is there a better way to create quantile "dummies" / factors in R?

i´d like to assign factors representing quantiles. Thus I need them to be numeric.
That´s why I wrote the following function, which is basically the answer to my problem:
qdum <- function(v,q){
qd = quantile(v,1:(q)/q)
v = as.data.frame(v)
v$b = 0
names(v) <- c("a","b")
i=1
for (i in 1:q){
if(i == 1)
v$b[ v$a < qd[1]] = 1
else
v$b[v$a > qd[i-1] & v$a <= qd[i]] = i
}
all = list(qd,v)
return(all)
}
you may laugh now :) .
The returned list contains a variable that can be used to assign every observation to its corresponding quantile. My question is now: is there a better way (more "native" or "core") to do it? I know about quantcut (from the gtools package), but at least with the parameters I got, I ended up with only with those unhandy(? - at least to me) thresholds.
Any feedback thats helps to get better is appreciated!
With base R, use quantiles to figure out the splits and then cut to convert the numeric variable to discrete:
qcut <- function(x, n) {
cut(x, quantile(x, seq(0, 1, length = n + 1)), labels = seq_len(n),
include.lowest = TRUE)
}
or if you just want the number:
qcut2 <- function(x, n) {
findInterval(x, quantile(x, seq(0, 1, length = n + 1)), all.inside = T)
}
I'm not sure what quantcut is but I would do the following
qdum <- function(v, q) {
library(Hmisc)
quantilenum <- cut2(v, g=q)
levels(quantilenum) <- 1:q
cbind(v, quantilenum)
}
